Bamford may be restored to the Boro XI for Sunday's game against Manchester United following an injury to Rudy Gestede, who was forced off with a hamstring injury in the first half of Saturday's defeat against City.

Gestede is now a major doubt to face Jose Mourinho's side, along with centre-back Bernardo Espinosa - who will undergo tests this morning on an injured ankle.

Defenders Daniel Ayala (hamstring), Calum Chambers (foot) and George Friend (calf) are also doubtful to face the Red Devils.
